Guiding Questions

Question

1. How are forces applied to objects in a collision?
2. How does the impulse-momentum theorem relate to the force applied during collisions?
What is the purpose of this design challenge?

Answer each question in order, answer in very short sentences, and in bold words

Answer 1

1. Forces are applied through direct contact or interactions between colliding objects.

2. The impulse-momentum theorem states that the impulse on an object equals the change in its momentum during a collision.

The purpose of this design challenge is to explore and apply concepts of forces and momentum in practical scenarios.
